Wow! Been gone a few days and come back to an IMS Battle Royal!
Next week - tires!!!! 
(and note to the OP: Remember doing nothing IS a valid option. Many of us have run cars to over 150,000 miles on the original IMS bearings)

I know, but my car is not used on a regular basis, and since those are the ones that statistically suffer the most,I'm getting really concerned now!!

If its already lasted 72,000 miles, it is HIGHLY likely that it will last quite a bit more.
At your mileage, I'd be more concerned about 15 other things that are more likely to fail in the engine than the IMS bearing.
Have you worried about your cam chain tensioners lately?

For crying out loud......
......stop worrying and start enjoying life.
We are all going to die someday.
You can drive yourself crazy worrying about a meteorite strike, an IMS failure, or the heartbreak of Psoriasis.
Just ship your car to Flat 6 Innovations and have them do for you what they did for me and start enjoying that car and living life.
Just do it.
The sooner you do, the sooner you can sleep at night.

If I could,I would do that,but for me to ship it to them would probably cost me more than the car is worth!!
